a little girl, whose mother had ALWAYS
told her the truth and taught her To tru {
in her promises, went with her one day
to a large town. The child had been used
TO living in the quiet country, and the
noise and hustle of the city were not
pleasant to her. A great crowd was
gathered to sste .snme sshow in the street,
and Lucy pressed her mothers hand, for
she felt afraid. "Don'l be afraid, my
child" said her mother, 81 won't take
you into any danger. Keep bold of my
hand, and nothing shall hurt you" Lucy
believed her mother and was happy.
After awhile it commenced to rain.
The mother looked at the delicate little
girl and said Lucy, dear, am afraid
to take you any further, on account Of the
rain. I have some business in another
part of the town. must leave yon in
this store. Don't go away from it, and /
will come for you as soon as ] get through
my errands'' The child looked INTO her
mothers face and said: a." You won't for
get me, know" - '~1 Is ea 1855 ),
Then her mother kissed her and left her
nnder thh CHE 81 tfft sstofeskee1n.r..s IS -
y At first she was amtisetl byjseoing the
gay ribbons measured, and in watching
the ladies' who came in to do their shop
ping; but after awhile she grew tired and
wished for her mother to come Then a
little girl Older than herself came in, and
they began to talk together. Lucy told
her she was waiting for her mother, who
had promised to come fer her when she
got through her errants
"Aren't you afraid your mother may
forget you?' asked the little girl.
"NO, I'm not afraid; I'm sure she
won't do that" said Lucy.
"IIow can you be sure ? She may,
you know"
"She promised,' was the chid's reply,
sand never knew my mother to break
her promise"
Another hour passed away. How long
it seemed to Lucy! The customers had
all gone home. The people in thu. store
were putting. away their goods 1t was
growing dark and the gas lamps were
lighted, but still her mother did not come.
a lady came into the store Lucy knew.
She lived near her fathers, and offered
TO take her home in her carriage.
No, thank you, mi'am," said Lucy,
smother said she would come for me, and
| know she will keep her promise"
AT length her mother came How glad
Lucy was to see her! And when they
were sitting by the fircsile in the even
ing, her mother told her this was just the
kind of trust God wants his children to
exercise. He gives us promises in his
word, and expects us to believe them,
just as We believe the promises of our pa
rents and dear friends. "What time we
are afraid " we must trust in his promises,
and then we shall find comfort. The
great promise of God ir the Gospel is,
Whosoever believeth shall not perish :"
The way to be saved is just to trust III this
promise with all our hearts. Then we
need never be afraid abont getting to
heaven. Philadelphia Methodist.

of stopping coughing. And | may say

q WORD WIrgI THE MOTHERS
OF <:ElOWN-CP CHILDREN.

Dear women, why do some of you hide
the love, the JOY, the overweening pride
that your fond hearts feel for the strong.
tall men and women vino call you mother (?
Kisses and rapturous words were the
rain that fell unstintingly on their baby
life. Where is the love light now that
shone upon baby's eyes whenever they
meet mothers? Where is the tender hand
that brushed the curls away from baby's
forehead for loving lips to press adoringly?
Do you think the tired man now doing
his work in the world, as bravely as in
him lies, never thinks it would be sweet
again to feel the tender hand, the loving
lips, or see the lovc-light in the eyes Of
her who made life blessed in his BABY
hood?
And do you not know-you will know
if you do your children justice-that your
daughter, perhaps wife, in her own
home is often sadlened by halt formed
wishes that mother would not be so re-
served and self-contained, but would open
wide her motherly arms and let her tired
child fling herself upon the loving breast,
just as of yore, when she hid her face and
sobbed out her childhood's griefs with
GNiU.a'''J VI h"iihS eJuiPabhy anu cOm-
fort?
Loving her children as every good
mother does, how can a woman, as the
years roll on, build wall-viewless it is
true, but none the less a reality-between
herself and the children she has borneP
1t is hard, very hard for the children. but
harder still for the mother, for her heart
must ache with longing when she finds
herself no longer a necessity TO her dearly
loved ones, and, in her old age, when
other joys are denied her, she is missing
the cares of a former active life, and her
circle OF interest narrows, where is the
joy of living if she is no longer her chill
dren's most dearly-prized treasurer
Don't say it is too late to change, and
pray for patience to bear the cross of
living on when no one wants YOU. God
never meant any mother to carry that
cross. lie maniests his love toward us,
and he would have you show yours to
your children. Let the love which fills
your heart till it is ready to burst break
the chill repression you have bound upon
it and set it free to bless the children who
cannot dream that you love item so.
because you have long ago ceased to give
that love expression. Cultivate the gift
OF showing your affection.in act, look and
tone. 1t will not be easy to break the
ice that has been hardening for years
pride and selfishness will forbid your try
ing, but persevere, and little by little the
frosty cover that has hidden your heart
from your dearest ones will melt and let
the sunshine of love shine upon their lives
and yours. "

\ DAKOTA BRIDE.

and seemed crushed to earth by her
losses.
MIR. aud Mrs. Jackson wended their
way to Buds Montana home, and as the
gushing Bridegroom led his bride into his
lovely cot of one room, and introduced
her TO his favorite dogs, he said tenderly:

The frail, sad-eyed little bride did not

She came. She snatched down the pad
on her way, and with set teeth and ewes

and hyerias, but never anything like this.
"A conflict ensued it was short, fierce and

the opposite of that to be true, and that
the sword never unlocks he.ven, and that
he who heals wounds is greater than he
who makes them, and that on the same
